Re: **FIRST EMAIL**/Invitation to Beta test the New Control System
I am a mentor on a 2nd year team and FIRST seems to be taking a prudent course of action. Step back and treat this as an optimization problem. The goal is to obtain the best possible control system for 2009 with a limited set of resources. Technical know how, geographic location, track record, and yes fairness are all variables (add your own). How would you go about solving it? I can think of many alternatives but the advertised program seems pretty good.
Personally I'm excited about the potential to work closely with more experienced teams. I would love it if locally 116 or 612 were able to be part of the program but if not then are there any options to be able to coordinate with teams virtually? Just being able to review designs, code along with asking questions is valuable in my opinion.
